St. Joseph- Day 1

We arrived on a bus that had twelve seats with a small blue car following us, and all of the donations we had received. Driving up the hill with the Sacred Heart Parish center in our sites, the bus door opened and it was like a door way to the truth, with the light shining in and a tree creating shade. We all got to; grab our stuff, say hi to the staff, and go to our rooms. The two rooms are nice and compact with enough to room to fit twelve maybe fifteen people. With our things put away the fun began by  playing games and learning the names of all our leaders. The games ended and we were split up into small groups. After, we got to write our thoughts about the week into our small, black and white, prayer booklets. With the writings done we got together in small groups again to share and learn about each others expectations. The night still young, and the sun setting, we get our amazing orange shirts that say Agape and got to eat some snacks; carrots, apples, and chips, appease the hunger of the weary travelers who have left their homes and families to help those in need.
